Mommy Points Giveaway: Win 3,000 Hertz Gold Points!

Last week Hertz reached out to me to see if I would be interested in helping them “end the summer with a bang” and give away 3,000 more Hertz points for you to use however you wish! Um, yes please. No, I don’t keep any of the points or anything else from Hertz for myself. 😉 I am always more than willing to give away Hertz points for two main reasons. First, they are extremely valuable points that are fairly hard to come by if you don’t have a bunch of Hertz rentals. Second, it is a company that I regularly use myself. In fact, despite some other great airline-mileage-earning car rental promos that are out there right now, I am still renting this week from Hertz. They had the best rate for what I needed, and I receive solidly consistent service from them. Plus, I like earning their points and I utilize my USAA benefits with their rentals.

Anyway, Hertz not only wants to help a family win 3,000 Hertz Gold Plus Reward Points* just in time for any last minute summer trips over Labor Day, but they also want to celebrate some of their accolades and additions from this past year. They are excited about adding the Porsche Panamera to their Hertz Prestige Collection at select locations (it technically seats four – how fun would that be?!), but they are also proud of the GMC Yukon Compressed Natural Gas vehicle (part of the Hertz Green Traveler Collection available at select locations) for those looking for a “greener” option. I actually love getting the Yukon when we rent an SUV because it has more than enough space for all our stuff!

Some other things they are pretty jazzed about are:

· The Best Car Rental Agency for the 13th time in Travel + Leisure Magazine’s “World’s Best Awards” for 2012, earning a spot in the first-ever Travel + Leisure “World’s Best Hall of Fame”

· The Best Overall Car Rental Company in Zagat’s 2012/13 U.S. Car Rental Survey (also earning top honors in 14 additional categories)

· The Best Rewards Program and Best Overall Benefits in the first annual FlyerTalk Awards

· Using Hertz NeverLost, which according to Peter Greenberg is one of the “tried and true GPS navigators” that has “evolved into an information hub—you can also use it for flight status and weather information, and it’s even got a trip-planning tool.”

· Hertz ‘Carfirmations’, a mobile SMS text and email service that confirms a Gold member’s reservation and advises them of their car and location prior to arrival at the Hertz facility

· ‘Gold Choice’ which gives Gold members the power to keep the car they reserved or simply choose a different car from the Gold Choice area

I’m easy to please, so I am just happy that they generally have cars that I feel safe driving, employees who are helpful, rates that are competitive, and points that are very valuable and easy to use! All those other things are just icing on the cake.

We love to travel to exotic places as a family (mom, dad, 2 kids) using as little cash as possible. Thanks for a great site and for being on Twitter so we can follow it more easily! 2 days of Hertz rentals would be superb for us!

Hard to beat the value of Hertz points–and hard to beat the value of Hertz–I’ve never had a bad Hertz experience (which can’t be said of other agencies). I’d go to someplace cooler than Texas, like Colorado!

I was actually lucky enough to get to buy Hertz points during the daily getaway – I find them incredibly useful. I would love to use them to go with my family up to New Hampshire – with all our gear renting an SUV would be really helpful.

I’d like to use the Hertz rental to take my family to Ocean city, Maryland. They’ve been wanting to go to the beach before summer ends and this would be a perfect way to take them and enjoy a nice long weekend.

We have a family trip the week after LD: fly to PIT for 2 days with family, then drive to DTW for more more visiting, and fly out of DTW. Some points to cover the expensive 1-way rental would be very nice.

I’d love to head for the mountains. It’s a little early this year but the trees are already starting to turn. To have a “family” caar, so everyone fits comfortably, along with “stuff” would be great. Pack a picnic and just drive!

I am moving from Seattle to Atlanta in a couple months. While I’m single with no dependents, I’d take my parents, sister & two nephews to Eastern Washington on a camping trip! We used to do that all the time when I was a kind, and the Yukon would be fabulous for that.

Too many people and no chance to win, but would love to take my 78 years old mother who never travel for the last 15 years anywere to visit her only 2 friends in US from her childhood in Modova in NYC and Washington DC

I already have a trip booked and am flying out to San Francisco for labor day but still need to rent a car! I am going on a vacation road trip and driving from San Francisco to San Diago. Cant wait to hit up the coastal highways and the national parks. Would love the Hertz points!

I would love to win a rental for the holiday. We are scheduled to drive from Western Georgia to Pikeville KY and back for a Hatsfield McCoy geocaching event. Would be great to have a rental for the trip.

I currently live in the Channel Side district in Tampa, FL. Love the urban life BUT with the Republican National Convention (which is a VERY good thing for Tampa) literally 2 blocks from my residence, a labor day get away is just the “ticket”! The security, closed streets and traffic will be taxing to say the least. So, I would love to exercise mine and my family’s inalienable right to freedom and hit the road… to see a bit more of this great country we live in.

My darling niece is turning 1 on labor day weekend and I want to take my parents with me to NY to see her and celebrate her first birthday. This offer from Hertz would be extremely helpful and in return we’d bring back her ‘hello kitty’ theme b’day pictures to share with you all 🙂

About Summer

Well, I am a married mom in my mid-30's. I have two rock star, adorable, beautiful, fantastic, mischievous, humorous, smarter-than-my-own-good girls. One is currently 7 going on 17 and the other is closing in on her 2nd birthday. I am obsessed with my adorable and insane kiddos, and also obsessed with earning and using airline and hotel points and miles to show them the world on a budget we can afford.
